I was surfing some restaurant reviews for my mother's birthday (she lives 800 miles from me, so a night out is what she wants these days), and happened upon a nice restaurant (great reviews). I clicked on the site (in IE, I usually am running 3 or 4 browsers at once) and got a pop up message -

"It looks like you are using Internet Explorer. To view our site correctly, please update to a modern browser like Google Chrome or Firefox"

I busted out laughing because I remember in the early aughts when they were telling you to use IE! Now, because of malware I guess, no one wants you using it!

Dr Guy, I wonder if you contacted that restaurant and told them about the message that was popping up, if they even knew it was happening.

I contacted them - but only to buy a gift certificate. Given they are not in the IT business, I will pass on the notification. As Taz pointed out, it is probably their web writer and they have no clue.

Still (and thank you for the clues one and all), as an old fart, I did find it funny. And yes, I do remember when IE was the joke of the browser world (mid 90s). The circle of life.
